It was very early in the morning. Apologies for being obscure.

When platforms ban assholes and other platforms arise in the guise of decreasing censorship, said assholes flock to new platforms and infest them a la Ruqqus (though I believe the developer/founders have positive intent)

We need more clever ways of finding the assholes. I mentioned show and tell in my comment above. When you think about how show and tell works, you must earn your right to show and that works fairly well, even when you scale the idea. Does that make more sense?
